Who Has Read "The Life of Pi"?

This is one of my all-time favorite books. If anyone has read it, please tell me what you think about this! While in Peru, we visited a place on Lake Titicaca called the Islas del Uros. These are floating islands made of totora reeds that the Uros people built over 500 years ago to escape their enemies on land. And get this: You can eat the reeds! I did. They taste like celery and are supposedly very rich in protein. This is the most bizarre thing we saw on our entire trip.

The Andes Mountains

Now THIS is the reason I went to Peru. Breathtaking!

Peruvian plants and flowers

The First Stamp in My Passport

So my amazing birthday trip to Peru has come and gone. I can't even describe how cool it was. We crammed so much action into 9 short days that I took over 900 pictures! Mr. Wonderful was the perfect travel companion, and we are even more puke/vomit than ever. There is entirely too much to write about in one blog, so I'm going to break it up into sections, some chronological, some categorical. You'll see what I mean. Today will be our departure from DFW, arrival in Cusco, and subsequent sightseeing there.
